And, never mind, the entire west can't match Russia's manufacturing capacity.

That doesn't mean anything because
Russia can't match the West's manufacturing capability.
The West is not at war with Russia.
The West isn't trying to match manufacturing capacity. These US alone easily could if we had to.

Russia can't match the West's manufacturing capability.

What a brainless comment.

Russia's the side with a 10-1 edge in ammo and missiles fired. Ukraine is the side, despite all the help from the west, that is suffering from ammo and missile shortages.

Nothing you just claimed makes any sense whatsoever.

And, yes, the war in Ukraine has been a proxy war between NATO and Russia from the beginning. It's absurd to deny that.

Russia can't match the West's manufacturing capability.

Say what?

Russia is getting all the washing machine circuit boards and shovels it needs from China, under the table.
